Hi Grizz,
My Sumo has a 390 Holley 4 barrel on it and uses a Facet pump and is only using one pipe and is perfectly happy no flooding of carb etc, the holley does,nt use a return, but my mates Dax has SU carbs and he has the return blanked off and he is using a Facet pump ,and he,s had no probs.I think the old SU needle valves will hold back 6 PSI ok.It certainly wont damage the carbs the worst that can happen is they may flood on tickover,give it a try and if they flood connect up the return.

HTH
